A deal has been reached between the Anchorage Police Department and the union representing police officers to begin using officer-worn body cameras. Discussions over exactly what rules would apply in the deployment and use of body cameras and their recordings have been ongoing for about two years since Anchorage voters approved funding for the cameras and other technology.
School board members, staff and administration gathered at the Anchorage School District Education Center Saturday morning for a work session to brainstorm potential areas that could be trimmed from the budget.
